Did the laity have a part in the Carolingian Renaissance? If so,
how were lay elites, and through them the laity at large affected?
This fascinating and wide-ranging volume examines these questions
through a study of lay involvement in literary and artistic
activity in early medieval Europe. Leading historians explore a
diverse range of Latin and vernacular texts written by secular
authors and use richly-drawn case studies to illuminate such key
issues as the extent of lay literacy, the contexts in which learned
laity could flourish, the transformative impact of the Carolingian
Renaissance, and the interaction of ???lay??? and ???clerical???
values on both sides of the Channel. This volume demonstrates that
the learned laity, both women as well as men, contributed much more
as writers and patrons to early medieval culture than was
previously thought and it will be essential reading for scholars of
Carolingian and Anglo-Saxon history.
